FWIW, if it’s not an N95, it’s probably not stopping any/much transmission anyway. The “non-surgical cloth masks” are mostly just “do something theater.”

Gevalia is actually very good coffee. It doesn’t get mentioned a lot in these “single origin micro-roasting” days, but it’s very solid.

I found the Vertuo to be meaningfully worse than the original Nespresso pods. We recently switched back to the original and had to dump a bunch of unused Vertuo capsules since Nespresso won’t take them back.

How do you feel about people buying cars with 400HP? None of them “have to” do that either? How do you feel about SUVs. Few people really need that big of a car with 4WD. How do you feel about $100,000 sedans or lowriders or the preponderance of crossovers? Let us know what cars are acceptable to you, or maybe you can…

We in America are clinging to our pickups like talismans of brighter days, and I hope that goes away as soon as possible.

Not entirely. The useful life of a car has increased dramatically since the 80s. Once upon a time, it didn’t make sense to finance for more than 36 most because many cars were close to “used up” at that point. That’s no longer the case, but I’d still be reluctant to finance for more than 60.

At the time, the relative rankings were known by all.

CBD is snake oil for everything except epilepsy. Rachael Rapinoe is a snakeoil saleswoman--a profiteer. That makes most of her judgments and opinions highly questionable.

With the Model 3, it’s clear that they are more aggressively targeting the volume segment.

Taste your food while cooking and especially just before serving.

I thought that this might be a strong take, but it just appears to be the new consensus. THERE’S BEEN BACKLASH TO THE FIERI BACKLASH!

In before the haters. I actually am ok with Guy Fieri and DDD. He’s like one of those friends you have who’s a little embarrassing but generally fun to be around. I’m not sure he’s a great cook himself, but the show is enjoyable and fills a need. It’s been a huge boon to all of restaurants he’s profiled. May have even…

Otter: Beer? Vitamins?

First of all, a “corona grade” (no such thing) ventilator is not $50,000. They are between $10K and $20K. Just because a car blogger on Jalopnik posted that, doesn’t make it true.

Yeah, maybe if we had a government that would commit that the USPS would continue to deliver to all US citizens, then maybe I’d think about taking some financial step(s) to help them out. Otherwise, it’s really not my job to be supporting the federal government. I pay all of my taxes and don’t use any tax avoidance…

People traveling around and not taking things seriously early on is how things got so bad in the first place.

I used to live near the WC back in the mid-90s. While they were a little fiesty back then, they weren’t nearly as aggressive as they are today.

The Women’s soccer team is also a very big fish in a very small pond. They won’t want to make too much of their agreements dependent on their dominance, because that’s about to come to an end.

Yes. It’s a beta test product in the same way that Microsoft Windows continues to be. Or your smart phone. Or Boeing airplanes. Your F150 and my Tacoma are not “beta test products” because they use 20+ year old technologies. Hi tech is always going to have a “beta test” element to it because of the extensive software…
